Must tell you JP that Shawna has been so inspired by your videos, she has taken off her gloves. I did an inspection with her last week and she did not wear any gloves and never got stung either even though we were moving many frames around. Wimpy me, I am still wearing the gloves.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Thanks Scott! can't wait to see some of yours. Video camera, new stove? Video camera, new stove?

VIDEO CAMERA! :-D

Hey you guys, its all about being comfortable and confident when you're in the bee yard. If wearing gloves gives you confidence and you're capable of working bees with them on, then hey, who am I to say anything about that.

I wear them sometimes if a hive is really hot t and hell bent on stinging.

Ok JP (and Irwin) We went to HHGregg a couple of days ago just to look at video cameras and to see how much $ we needed to set aside. We found a sony dcr-sx41 on sale (close out) for $100 off. They only had 2 left in stock and the Mgr offered an additional $50 off so we bought one.

Not a top of the line unit, but all in all a pretty cool little camera for $169. Now I need to pick up some editing software and we're good to go. I'll try to take care of that this w/e.

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....
